INCUMBENT Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernandez said on Tuesday night that he was is “open” to a full recount as opposition protests against the stolen election continued.
National Party leader Mr Hernandez, said: “We’re open to it being checked, revised, one, two, three or however many times. We’ve got no problem.”
He insisted, however, that any recount must be under the auspices of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, which Opposition Alliance Against Dictatorship candidate Salvador Nasralla accuses of ballot-rigging.
